FUNGI
WHITAKER’S FIVE KINGDOM CONCEPT
 Biodiversity of the world is an awesome treasure of knowledge in
general and biologists in particular. Attempts have been taken to
assess this hidden treasure Whitaker(1969) proposed that organisms
should be broadly divided into kingdoms, based on certain
characters like the structure of the cell, mode of nutrition, the source
of nutrition, interrelationship, body organization, and reproduction.
 The kingdoms include:
 Bacteria and Achaea are in the Kingdom Prokaryotae (or Monera)
 Algae and protozoa are in the Kingdom Protista (organisms in this
kingdom are referred to as protists)
 Fungi are in the Kingdom Fungi
 Plants are in the Kingdom Plantae
 Animals are in the Kingdom Animalia
WHAT IS FUNGI?
 Heterotrophic, Multicellular and Eukaryotic organisms are
grouped under Kingdom Fungi.
 May be unicellular or multicellular- septate or non-septate hyphae
 Eukaryotic in nature with all cell organelles except chloroplastids
 Their mode of nutrition is saprophytic as they use decaying
organic matter as food.
 They have cell walls, which are made up of a substance called
Chitin.
 Fungi also form a symbiotic association with some blue-green
algae; Lichen(Algae-Fungi) and Mycorrhizae (Root-Fungus
association)
 Yeast, Mushroom, Aspergillus are examples of Fungi.
CHARACTERISTICS
 1.Fungi are cosmopolitan in distribution i.e., they can grow in
any place where life is possible.
 2. They are heterotrophic in nature due to the absence of
chlorophyll. On the basis of their mode of nutrition, they may
be parasite, saprophyte or symbionts.
 3. The plant body may be unicellular (Synchytrium,
Saccharomyces) or filamentous (Mucor, Aspergillus). The
filament is known as hypha (plural, hyphae) and its entangled
mass is known as mycelium.
 4. The hypha may be aseptate i.e., coenocytic (without septa
and containing many nuclei) or septate. The septate mycelium
in its cell may contain only one (monokaryotic), two
(dikaryotic) or more nuclei.
 5. The septa between the cell may have different types of
pores: micropore (Geotrichum), simple pore (most of the
Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina) or dolipore
DIFFERENT TYPES OF HYPHAE
CHARACTERISTICS
 The cells are surrounded by distinct cell wall (except slime
molds), composed of fungal cellulose i.e., chitin; but in
some lower fungi (members of Oomycetes), the cell wall is
composed of cellulose or glucan.
 7. The cells generally contain colorless protoplasm due to
absence of chlorophyll, containing nucleus, mitochondria,
endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, vesicle, micro bodies,
etc.
 8. The cells are haploid, dikaryotic or diploid. The diploid
phase is ephemeral (short-lived).
 9. In lower fungi like Mastigomycotina, the reproductive
cells (zoospores and gametes) may be uni or biflagellate,
having whiplash and/or tinsel type of flagella. But in higher
fungi like Zygomycotina, Ascomycotina, Basidiomycotina
and Deuteromycotina, motile cells never form at any stage.
CHARACTERISTICS
In response to functional need, the fungal mycelia are modified into
different types such as: Plectenchyma, Stroma, Rhizomorph,
Sclerotium, Hyphal trap, Appresorium, Haustorium, etc.
The unicellular fungi, where entire plant body becomes converted
into reproductive unit, are known as holocarpic fungi (e.g.,
Synchytrium). However, in many others, only a part of the mycelial
plant body is converted into reproductive unit, thus they are called
eucarpic fungi (e.g., Pythium, Phytophthora).
They reproduce by three means: Vegetative, asexual and sexual.
 (a) Vegetative reproduction takes place by fragmentation (Mucor,
Penicillium, Fusarium), budding (Saccharomyces, Ustilago) and
fission (Saccharomyces).
 (b) Asexual reproduction takes place by different types of spores.
These are zoospores (Synchytrium), conidia (Pythium, Aspergillus),
oidia (Rhizopus), chlamydospore (Fusarium), etc. The spores may
be unicellular (Aspergillus) or multicellular (Alternaria).
ASEXUAL METHODS OF REPRODUCTION
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
 Sexual reproduction involves three subsequent
stages- Plasmogamy, Karyogamy & Meiosis
 Fungi have monoecious mycelia being
homothallic & dioecious called heterothallic.
 Fusion of sex cells by gametes borne in
gametangia.
 Plasmogamy is the fusion of protoplasts to
produce dikaryon cells. It involves five processes-
 A. Gametangial contact,
 B. Gametangial copulation,
 C. Spermatization,
 D. Somatogamy,
 E. Gametic union,
STEPS OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
 Karyogamy is the union of the nuclei to form diploid
nucleus or a synkaryon. In lower group of fungi like
Phycomycetes karyogamy immediately follows
plasmogamy whereas the advanced members like
Ascomycetes and Basidiomyctes, it is delayed having a
long durable dikaryon stage and then karyogamy.
 Meiosis is the last stage where the diploid nucleus
divides by meiosis and produce haploid spores called
meiospores that are the foundation of haploid mycelia
or thalli.
 The life cycle is haplobiontic
 The sexual reproduction of two types-Isogamous found
in the lower groups having the union of two
morphologically similar sex cells called isogametes.
METHOD OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
 In Olpidium, Catneria, the gametes are motile called
planogametes and fusion makes zygospores but in Rhizopus,
the mature gametangia fuses to form zygospores.
 Heterogamous of two types-Anisogamous where two
morphologically dissimilar unite.
 Oogamous types-the advanced type of sexual reproduction
where distinct gametangia for male(antheridium) and female
( Oogonium) forms. Both the gametes are non-motile. Very
often female ascogonium forms (Ascomycetes).
 Other type like spermatization may take place.
 Plasmogamy leads to dikaryotic secondary mycelium
formation,
 After dikariotic mycelium(n+n), diplodization (2n) takes
place and then zygotic meiosis to form haploid spores(n)

  • 1. MYCOLOGY Welcome to Fungal World: General Characteristics & Classification By N.Sannigrahi, Associate Professor Department of Botany Nistarini College, Purulia (W.B) India
  • 3. WHITAKER’S FIVE KINGDOM CONCEPT  Biodiversity of the world is an awesome treasure of knowledge in general and biologists in particular. Attempts have been taken to assess this hidden treasure Whitaker(1969) proposed that organisms should be broadly divided into kingdoms, based on certain characters like the structure of the cell, mode of nutrition, the source of nutrition, interrelationship, body organization, and reproduction.  The kingdoms include:  Bacteria and Achaea are in the Kingdom Prokaryotae (or Monera)  Algae and protozoa are in the Kingdom Protista (organisms in this kingdom are referred to as protists)  Fungi are in the Kingdom Fungi  Plants are in the Kingdom Plantae  Animals are in the Kingdom Animalia
  • 4. WHAT IS FUNGI?  Heterotrophic, Multicellular and Eukaryotic organisms are grouped under Kingdom Fungi.  May be unicellular or multicellular- septate or non-septate hyphae  Eukaryotic in nature with all cell organelles except chloroplastids  Their mode of nutrition is saprophytic as they use decaying organic matter as food.  They have cell walls, which are made up of a substance called Chitin.  Fungi also form a symbiotic association with some blue-green algae; Lichen(Algae-Fungi) and Mycorrhizae (Root-Fungus association)  Yeast, Mushroom, Aspergillus are examples of Fungi.
  • 5. CHARACTERISTICS  1.Fungi are cosmopolitan in distribution i.e., they can grow in any place where life is possible.  2. They are heterotrophic in nature due to the absence of chlorophyll. On the basis of their mode of nutrition, they may be parasite, saprophyte or symbionts.  3. The plant body may be unicellular (Synchytrium, Saccharomyces) or filamentous (Mucor, Aspergillus). The filament is known as hypha (plural, hyphae) and its entangled mass is known as mycelium.  4. The hypha may be aseptate i.e., coenocytic (without septa and containing many nuclei) or septate. The septate mycelium in its cell may contain only one (monokaryotic), two (dikaryotic) or more nuclei.  5. The septa between the cell may have different types of pores: micropore (Geotrichum), simple pore (most of the Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina) or dolipore
  • 7. CHARACTERISTICS  The cells are surrounded by distinct cell wall (except slime molds), composed of fungal cellulose i.e., chitin; but in some lower fungi (members of Oomycetes), the cell wall is composed of cellulose or glucan.  7. The cells generally contain colorless protoplasm due to absence of chlorophyll, containing nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, vesicle, micro bodies, etc.  8. The cells are haploid, dikaryotic or diploid. The diploid phase is ephemeral (short-lived).  9. In lower fungi like Mastigomycotina, the reproductive cells (zoospores and gametes) may be uni or biflagellate, having whiplash and/or tinsel type of flagella. But in higher fungi like Zygomycotina, Ascomycotina, Basidiomycotina and Deuteromycotina, motile cells never form at any stage.
  • 8. CHARACTERISTICS In response to functional need, the fungal mycelia are modified into different types such as: Plectenchyma, Stroma, Rhizomorph, Sclerotium, Hyphal trap, Appresorium, Haustorium, etc. The unicellular fungi, where entire plant body becomes converted into reproductive unit, are known as holocarpic fungi (e.g., Synchytrium). However, in many others, only a part of the mycelial plant body is converted into reproductive unit, thus they are called eucarpic fungi (e.g., Pythium, Phytophthora). They reproduce by three means: Vegetative, asexual and sexual.  (a) Vegetative reproduction takes place by fragmentation (Mucor, Penicillium, Fusarium), budding (Saccharomyces, Ustilago) and fission (Saccharomyces).  (b) Asexual reproduction takes place by different types of spores. These are zoospores (Synchytrium), conidia (Pythium, Aspergillus), oidia (Rhizopus), chlamydospore (Fusarium), etc. The spores may be unicellular (Aspergillus) or multicellular (Alternaria).
  • 9. ASEXUAL METHODS OF REPRODUCTION
  • 10. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION  Sexual reproduction involves three subsequent stages- Plasmogamy, Karyogamy & Meiosis  Fungi have monoecious mycelia being homothallic & dioecious called heterothallic.  Fusion of sex cells by gametes borne in gametangia.  Plasmogamy is the fusion of protoplasts to produce dikaryon cells. It involves five processes-  A. Gametangial contact,  B. Gametangial copulation,  C. Spermatization,  D. Somatogamy,  E. Gametic union,
  • 11. STEPS OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION  Karyogamy is the union of the nuclei to form diploid nucleus or a synkaryon. In lower group of fungi like Phycomycetes karyogamy immediately follows plasmogamy whereas the advanced members like Ascomycetes and Basidiomyctes, it is delayed having a long durable dikaryon stage and then karyogamy.  Meiosis is the last stage where the diploid nucleus divides by meiosis and produce haploid spores called meiospores that are the foundation of haploid mycelia or thalli.  The life cycle is haplobiontic  The sexual reproduction of two types-Isogamous found in the lower groups having the union of two morphologically similar sex cells called isogametes.
  • 12. METHOD OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
  • 13. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION  In Olpidium, Catneria, the gametes are motile called planogametes and fusion makes zygospores but in Rhizopus, the mature gametangia fuses to form zygospores.  Heterogamous of two types-Anisogamous where two morphologically dissimilar unite.  Oogamous types-the advanced type of sexual reproduction where distinct gametangia for male(antheridium) and female ( Oogonium) forms. Both the gametes are non-motile. Very often female ascogonium forms (Ascomycetes).  Other type like spermatization may take place.  Plasmogamy leads to dikaryotic secondary mycelium formation,  After dikariotic mycelium(n+n), diplodization (2n) takes place and then zygotic meiosis to form haploid spores(n)
